High priced shares scored the

Yosemite National Park.
The Merced river fire, which was
five miles from El Portal entrance

ing was being fought by :00 civilians
and 150 convicts fl om a, road camp
nearby. The fire already has burned
over 12,000 acres. including 4,000
heavily timbered lands in the Sierra
National Forest.
At Riverside. Cal., one hundred
men are fightinga forest fire which
has burned in the San Jacinto
mountains for the last week.
{ Heavy Showers Help.
Heavy showers lessened the fire
in some parts of the mountain range
although no rain fell near the scene
of the present fire.
In Oregon the forest fire situation
within the White Mountain National
forest and adjoining timber assumed
a. serious aspect. when five new fires
were reported to the office of the
forest supervisor,
Probably the most serious of these
is situated in an inaccessible region
four miles north of Anthony Lake
and about. twenty miles northwest
of Baker. All the fires are believed
to have been caused by lightning.
In Washington, f rest fires in
Northern Whatcom and Kittitss
counties and Rainier and Chelan Na-
tional forests we‘re reported.

In the Chelan National forest,
what was reported to be the largest
blaze of the season in this district
a fire was burning on Trout Creek,
a. tributary of the west fork of the
Nethew reservation. It has already
burned over 6,000 acres of timber.
Power and telephone lines of the
Associated Press were put out of
commission for a few hours yester-
day when the forest fire near the
Nevada-California state line jumped
the Truckee river.
The fire, which had been sweeping
down the Truckee river canyon to-
ward the little lumber town of Verdi
all afternoon, swerved last night and
was heading for Crystal Peak. on the
sides of which lies valuable timber.
Forest rangers took charge of the
situation and put a force of 200 men
to fighting the fires.

kam, Kenneth Carter and Isaac M.

After the meeting the Mayor was
asked why he had not recommended
the reappointment of the three re-
tiring members, especially Walter
has made him a. valuable member of
the llody handling the city funds
and the Mayor replied “I have both-
ing to say."
Dr. Staub. one of the Mayor's
candidates, the only member of the
retiring quartette. to receive reap-
pointment, is at present away on a
vacation.

Mayor Phillips bitterly attacked
the Connecticut Catering Company
and Peter Vanech, its head. for the
failure of the lessees of Halloween
Park to install ten cent bathing.
In ithe course or Ills talk' the May-
or took a placard which had been
posted by the Park Board and which
purported to show that the bathing
prices at the park. The placard made
no mention of ion cent bathing and
the mayor took this opportunity to
attack the clerk of the Park Board.
“I call this to your attention as an
example of the betrayal by a mem-
ber of the Park Board and I have
called a special meeting of that body
to call this to their attention." said
the Mayor.
Later. Mathew Kane, clerk of the
Park Board stated to a reporter
that the ten cent bathing price had
been omitted through error. He said
that it had been included iri the or-
iginal proof but that because of a
change ordered by Charles H. Lee«';
it had been inadvertently left out.
He said that new, posters woull be
made and displayed.

Albert J. Owens of Couch street
reported to the police last evening
that he had found a. bull dog m

Daakam, whore financial knowledge,
Nell Leon, the "American GYPSY."
who has travelled 5 times across the
American continent and twice around
the world in an automobile, stopped
last evening in South Norwalk and
thrilled’ the crowds in front of the
Rialto theatre in Washington street
with her tale. Miss Leon. 27, made
a. wager in 1916 with Edward J. An-
derson...multl-millionalre of Nome,
Alaska, that she would cover 500,-
000 miles in one automobile from
the period of 1916 to 1925. In her
specially built 70 horsepower car. she
has already completed 420,000 miles
of the journey and has 80,000 miles
yet to 30.
Miss Leon is making the trip with
her brother, Jack. and Miss Jean
Allen, official timer of the trip and
Miss Grace Hall, recording secre-
tary. “The American Gypsy." WNCh
sobriquet she has justly earned, was
an aviatrlx in the World War with
the American Red Cross overseas.
Jack Leon saw active service with
the aviation corps.
The “'ager.
Miss Leon, born and brought up
in Pittsburgh. while visiting friends
in Nome. Alaska, declared that if
she could afford it'she would of
ale the’ globe in an automobile. Ed
ward J”. Anderson heard her and ac-
cording to her story, told her that
he, would make it. worth her while
if she could do all she boasted. Miss
Leon said she'd go one-half million
miles in less than ten years. Mr.
Anderson agreed and offered $100.-
000 if she could do it. She was al-
lowed a machanician, a timer and a
recording secretary.
It was in August,' 1916 that the
wager was made and in less than a
month, the adventurous Miss Leon
was ready to hop off on the great
adventure. It was a dusty day.
September list. at the crack of a
pistol, amid the shouts of a large
assemblage. that the party started
off from the Jamaica race track.
Long Island. New York. .
The spirit of the travelers is Just
as fresh and hepeful today as it
was on September 1. 1916.
The adventurers, all a bit, weary,
look in the best of health and show
no effects of their traveling. They
have had great hardships. some-
times having to face barriers which
endangered their lives. but still they
push on.
Dangers Enomlnu-red.
Deserts and mountains have nor
dimmed their spirit. They have had
to face hunger. cold and thirst. There
were times so bad that they were
forced to drain water from the ra-
diator of their automobile to escape
death by taint.
The. automobile in which they
travel is quite picturesque. The
body is plastered with signatures of
notables from all over the world.
Among the persons'they have met
and who have wished their success
in. their attempt were the late Pre-
sident Harding, President Coolidge,
General John J. Pershing. who inci-
dentally awarded Miss Loon a medal
for bravery in the world war: Chaunv
cey M. Dcpcw, Marshal Foch, ox-
President Monocal of Cuba. Thomas
A. Edison. lobcrt Monte-ll, Shakes-
perean actor; many captains of. in-
dustry and other figures of world-
wide fame. Printed all over the car
the the names of cities and coun-
tries which have been visited by
them. There are also the signa-
tures of all the notables mentioned.
There is a large moose head attach—
ed to the front of the car, which
was shot down in the woods of Can-
ada. This is but one of the many
souvenirs which they have as a
token of their trip.
Miss Leon last evening told a
Sentinel reporter that despite the
hardships of the trip and despite the
gloomy outlook of the party at times
when luck was against them. she had
enjoyed the trip.
"I have always wanted to make a
far trip and have always craved
adventure even as a girl in the
school room and now I have realized
an ambition."
Typical American.
A typical American. blonde. about
five feet eight inches and of average
build, Miss Leon possesses a person-
ality which has won her friends all
over the world and which has
opened the doors of some of the
world' s best families and clubs. _
The party is now on its way north
as far as Maine and expects to put
off for Europe within a month. ,
About 80,000 miles are yet. to - be
covered and Miss Leon and her party
expect to accomplish this before
September, 1925. This will necessi-
tate greater mileage for the coming
year than any of the previous years.
The party has averaged about 52.-
000 miles a year.
Miss Leon is confident of doing the
80,000 and expects to have deposited
the lucrative reward before Septem-
ber 5, I925.
The associates will be well rc-
warded for their efforts by Mr. An-
derson in addition to the amount
paid to Miss Leon.
The party pushes on north today
and will perhaps put up for the
night in Boston. According to the
wager the party must cam its own
way. Expenses are covered by lec-
tures and the sale of circulars giv-
ing acounts of the Journey. Where
it is possible. hotels furnish lodgings
and where it isn’t possible the party
just bunks in the best place it finds.
Miss Leon’s Sm.
Miss Leon gives in her own words
here. an account of the journey.
“From my earliest childhood 8.

countries. cross lofty mmmtaln peaks
and penetrate into unknown deserts
were my wildest dreams.
“My initial experience was with a
band of itinerant Gypsies with whom
I crossed the Alleghenles. Leaving
them in the Gumbel-lands, I made my
way across the central plain- of
America by freight. This Journey
brought me to encounter many don-
gcrouo situations and undergo many
hardships. For instance, while study-
